From the transcript
I was going to update you on everything we're doing on the city, including the Fourth of July parade, but then the sales tax took— trumped it all. So I'm here representing the city in strong opposition to the ordinance 26032, and I just want to read our resolution into your record. Resolution— City of Wasilla Resolution Serial Number 2633. Whereas, pursuant to Wasilla Municipal Code 5-16-030, the City of Wasilla levies a 2.5% sales tax on all non-exempt sales, rentals, and services. And whereas, the city sales tax is the city's primary revenue source and supports essential city operations, services, facilities, and capital projects relied on by Wasilla residents, businesses, and visitors like yourself.
